Notes from our Igluski Experts

The highest resort in the Arlberg, St Christoph is a skier's paradise in the heart of the greatest ski system in Austria. The Chalet Hotel St Christoph is located next to the piste and lift, making this a perfect choice for families who don’t want a long walk to the slopes in the morning. Inside, the chalet-hotel is modern and comfy with a lovely pool. St Christoph is a peaceful village with a few bars and restaurants. The town links well with St Anton both for skiing and partying until the early hours. There is a regular bus service and taxi ride back is affordable and short.

Chalet Hotel St Christoph, St Christoph

If you are looking for the confidence of a high altitude, snow-sure resort, on one of the world’s Top Ten ski areas, with the convenience of skiing to and from your own ski room door, then you have come to the right place. And if you want all those plus-points combined with outstanding value for money, great food, drinks included and the warmest and friendliest of welcomes, then look no further – our popular Chalet Hotel St. Christoph is for you!

The location is simply unbeatable. The Maiensee T-bar starts just outside the ski room door, or take the 2-minute walk to the St. Christophbahn covered quad chairlift, which takes you straight up into the heart of the St. Anton side of the mighty Arlberg ski area. If you fancy the spectacular slopes of Lech and Zürs for a change, and the wonderful ‘White Ring’ circuit for a great day out, the ski bus stops 50m from the hotel. Beginners and families are downright spoiled, with the ski school meeting place and nursery slopes immediately alongside the hotel.

The comfortable facilities on offer inside the Chalet Hotel start with a welcoming lobby and reception area, connecting through to the excellent value residents-only bar and comfy fireside lounge. The attractive dining room sets the scene for our fine Chalet Hotel dining, and there is a sauna and large indoor swimming pool with mountain views and relaxing loungers on which to unwind after a great day’s skiing. Well appointed bedrooms complete the picture for a thoroughly comfortable stay.

Chalet Hotel St.Christoph Reviews

I've been organising a large ski club's annual holiday for 14 years. The group consists of 50+ people of various ages, from 4 to pushing 70. We have been to many resorts both in Europe and North America. This year's holiday to St.Christoph, Austria was excellent, and in most Club member's opinion was up at the top of the list when compared to previous brilliant Club holidays.
The Chalet Hotel St. Christoph, was excellent; the food, staff, facilities, location were exemplary. The only downside (for some) was the village of St.Christoph was a bit quiet for some of the younger party animals in the group. That said the amazing apres ski of St. Anton is only a 15 min bus ride away. Beware however there are regular busses until around 10:00pm - Miss that and you have to wait until after 1:00am, or get an expensive taxi home.
The Arlberg ski area is great (we were there at Easter 2013)- Not as extensive as the large French ski areas, nor as well linked up. You have to get a bus to the Lech/ Zurs ski area (covered by the lift pass) - We had a couple of excellent days there. It is well worth the short 15 min bus ride (the bus is not covered by your pass and costs around 3.50€ each way). A little tip for the return trip from Lech - To avoid the mass brawl fighting to get the limited number of places on the bus - Get the bus from the stop before the centre of the village (walk for 5 mins downhill to the post office - there is even a nice Italian cafe on the opposite side of the road to the bus stop to get some well earned liquid refreshment - Much quieter than the bun fight at the more trendy, but expensive bars at the foot of the pistes.)
All in all I can definitely recommend the Arlberg ski area, and Chalet hotel St.Christoph. I know my recommendation will be echoed by the other 54 people in our party. Definite thumbs up.

Apres Ski: 3/5
